How To Redirect Blogger Blogspot into .com Domain
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Blogger by default are leaving the URL domain into .blogspot.com, for user who wants to have a customized .com domain, they will most likely purchase it and redirect it into their blogspot domain, So that they will brand themselves with the .com domain
In this post, i'm going to cover the steps by steps to redirect from Blogger blogspot into .com domain. The purposes of this post was to give a blogger user a new customized .com domain
1. Go to Your Blogger Dashboard Layout, click on Edit HTML and check "Expand Widget Templates" box
2. Search for these lines[b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
3. Add this code below it[meta content='0;url=http://enter your new URL here' http-equiv='refresh'/>
4. Save it and you're done, try to test it with your blogspot domain and see if its redirect properly to your .com domain.
Another ways is to redirect your GoDaddy url to Blogger
1. Go to Your Blogger Dashboard, click on Publishing tab and click again on Custom Domain
2. Type in the URL of your new website in the Domain text box, don forget to change the domain into different extension, in case you are using other domain than .com
3. Login to your Godaddy Hosting account and click on Domain, click one of the domain that you would like to manage
4. On the next screen, check the domain box and you should see a new option on the right top side under the box tab that says "Total Control and MX Records link"
5. Once you see it, click on that. On the next screen, you can either add a new CName if only your host does not have WWW. Otherwise, click the existing www cname and make it point to the ghs.google.com link.
6. Go to your Command prompt (Start > Run, type cmd for WinXP and command for Win2000). Ping your blogger account by type in ping yourblog.blogspot.com. Note down the IP address that shows up
7. Next, you need to ping your .com domain. Afterward, note down the IP address that shows up.
8. Now you have to associate this IP Address with your A Host in your godaddy account. Go to the same manage domains page and your total dns control panel and edit your A Host or @ and make it point to the IP address that you noted down on step #6. If you decide to use .com domain for hosting your own blog such as Wordpress then switch back the IP Address to your .com IP address at step #7

How to redirect Wordpress into .com domain?
If you have wordpress account (e.g. yourblog.wordpress.com) and we want to redirect it into .com domain that you just purchased, the first thing we need to do is to match permanent link to your wordpress blog post otherwise it will not automatically redirected into your blogpost. Go to Admin CP > Setting > Permalinks. Choose Day and name format, After that, we can redirect it by following these step:
1. Go to Admin CP > Upgrades > Domains. Type your .com domain that you just create (without http://)
2. You'll then see this message
Wordpress are using this way to verify that you are the real owner of that .com domain. Please Note down all the 3 nameserver and don close this page!!
3. In order to verify, go to your domain host, in this case i will use GoDaddy. Log in to your GoDaddy account, click My Account > Manage Domain from your domain names
4. Select the .com domain that you just registered by checking on the check box then click Nameserver icon
I highly suggest you to note down all the default nameserver because you may want to use this if you have any intention to host your own wordpress in domain hosting. After that, replace the default nameserver with the one you just noted in step #2
5. Go back to your wordpress page, if you have close this page then head down to Admin CP > Upgrades > Domains and re-type your .com domain.
6. You should be able to verify it by purchasing $10/year. After that click "Put Blog here" next to your domain. Done!
Note!! Since the default nameserver is already been mapped into your wordpress blog (see step #4), then you can no longer use it. And if you have any intention to host all your wordpress setup files into domain hosting, set all the way back to default nameserver otherwise your .com domain will continuously redirect into .wordpress.com
If you host your wordpress in GoDaddy and you did forgot to note down all the default nameserver, then go to this page Look at the date when you registered that .com domain

So leave your blogger account and what you need for now is to lead your visitor to your new wordpress blog. I accidentally found this nice trick to redirect visitor from Blogger blogspot to wordpress and just have a thought to share with you all
1. Login to your Blogger account, Ensure you are using old blogspot but if you are using new custom layout then click on “Revert to Classic Template” option (Dasboard > Edit Layout > Edit HTML) to go back to old blogger account
2. Put the following code by CTRL + A and paste this code. Make sure you replace the red bold one into your new wordpress blog[html>
[head>
[script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
[!--
window.location.replace("http://www.devilsworkshop.org/");
-->
[/script>

[/html>
PS - You can also use Plugin but honestly i got an error when i attempt to install it. If you want the plugin, grab it here
3. We want all your blog post to redirect as well into wordpress blog, so we are going back to your new wordpress and edit index.php (Admin CP > Appearance > Editor) Put this code on the top and replace the bold one into your old blogspot blog.[?php
$oldBlogURL = "rb286.blogspot.com";
$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$refarr = explode("/", $ref);
if ($refarr[2] == $oldBlogURL ){
$bloggerurl = '/'.$refarr[3].'/'.$refarr[4].'/'.$refarr[5];
$sqlstr = " SELECT wposts.guid FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id AND wpostmeta.meta_key = 'blogger_permalink' AND wpostmeta.meta_value = '".$bloggerurl."' ";
$wpurl = $wpdb->get_results($sqlstr, ARRAY_N);
if ($wpurl){
header( 'Location: '.$wpurl[0][0].' ') ;
exit;
}
}
== This is just another additional info from me ==
4. The next step is to removing your old blog from the search engine index. These are important to avoid duplicate content. If you don do this, then the Search Engine will penalize/ban your wordpress site for duplicate content. In order to do that, go to Dashboard > Setting > Basic. Set Let search engines find your blog? into no
5. If you have FeedBurner ID, you might as well changing that one. Go to your Feed, select one of your feed (if you happen to have more than one) click on Edit the Feed Details and change the original feed address into http://yourblog.com/feed (in Linux hosting) or http://yourblog.com/index.php/feed (in Windows hosting)
